Do you need to be in front of a hypnotherapist in order to be hypnotized? The answer is no. Hypnosis is done via voice so as long as you can hear your hypnotherapist, you are good. The question becomes, should I get hypnotherapy over the phone? There is nothing wrong with phone hypnosis but many hypnotherapists prefer seeing you in front of them- present company included. There are a few reasons for this. When you are in front of a hypnotherapist, they can tell about how deep you are by looking at you, there are depth tests that can only …

Henry Ford once said, “Whether you think you can or thin  you can’t, you are right.”  I cannot agree with this statement more.  The truth is, you build you own reality.  If you spend all day telling yourself you aren’t good enough to reach your goal, then you are absolutely right.  You will never be good enough with that attitude.  You are setting yourself up for failure and you will fail with this mentality. When you tell yourself that you CAN do something, you will do it.  Failing is not an option when you believe you can do it. So …

I recently went to a science center that had some information and questions about thought erasing pills.  I couldn’t read all the information as I was chaperoning a fifth grade class trip.  The whole thought kind of freaked me out and reminded me of “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”.  I would imagine most people would think they wanted to erase heartache.  I think we need the memories of heartache to help us grow but that doesn’t mean we have to keep the hurt.

A big  part about seeing a hypnotherapist and/or life coach, is that you share part of your personal story. The more you trust your hypnotherapist/coach and the more you can share, the better your experience will be.  However, a professional hypnotherapist shouldn’t share much of their own journey with you at all.  Your sessions are about YOU.  Today, here on this blog, I will share a little about my journey. There comes a point in your life where you need to decide what you want to do with your life, it’s called high school.  If you are lucky, you have …

Hypnosis can help you change habits you might have but there is so much more that hypnosis can help with. Our first conversation will be figuring out what is going on in your mind.  Sometimes people don’t even know until we start discussing it. Even when you know exactly what the problem is, you might not realize that you can change it.  Let’s take height for example.  Maybe you are on the shorter side and you really resent it.  Maybe it interferes with your life almost every day.  Well. hypnosis won’t make you grow.  Sorry. However, though hypnosis, I can …
